    The first time I am going out for more than an afternoon with friends

    Thanks guys :) I shall make an attempt to enjoy it. Although with each passing minute my anxiety about the whole thing does get worse, and the temptation to not go gets greater and greater. It's almost as if I don't like feeling anxiety to a point where I will avoid anything that even remotely...

    The first time I am going out for more than an afternoon with friends

    Hey! So in a nutshell, my friend group consisting of 9 people that I met while playing Final Fantasy 14, are coming from all sorts of places to visit a city near me. I have agreed to go because it is close. Now, I have never done anything like this in my life and I am beyond terrified. I'm...

And she might be right because it would open tons of doors for me, plus the feeling of actually...

    How to move forward in life?

    I neither work or attend education that is correct. I couldn't even begin to imagine sitting a job interview honestly. No confidence in myself or my ability, plus the anxiety of it all makes it basically impossible for me. I was tempted to go to the doctors and request some anxiety meds (if I'm...

    How to move forward in life?

    Hey all. New to the site! I am diagnosed with Aspergers and Social Anxiety and a college dropout as I couldn't cope with it. I dropped out at 19 and I'm now 25, and I have done nothing in all those years due to a combination of everything being too scarey and my inability to practically do...
